After Zhou Zhihan hit a spot shot, he quickly pressed and pulled the lever. Wildcat No. 214 was like a big eagle, its wings pointed diagonally at the sky and the earth, and flew into the clouds.
"boom!"
Zero explosion.
The distance was too close, and the little devil had no time to react. He was unable to avoid it and was blown into pieces.
Just as Wildcat No. 214 opened fire, the remaining four-finger formation happened to turn left. Seeing all this clearly, the lead aircraft immediately recovered from the turn and attacked Wildcat No. 214. The other three Zero Fighters immediately followed. superior.
"Yo……"
Zhou Zhihan chuckled and pulled the lever, and Wildcat No. 214 jumped into the clouds, "We've been discovered. You're not a bad kid. If you have the guts, just chase him."
At the same time, Mizuo Fuchida, who was bleeding from the inside, was also able to see clearly that No. 214 Wildcat shot down Zero War.
In just a few minutes, a squadron he sent to encircle and suppress No. 214 Wildcats fought zero battles. Eight of them were shot down by Wildcats, which was more than the total number of fighter planes shot down by U.S. defensive artillery fire.
Of the 43 Zeros he brought, almost half have been lost so far. Most of them were thanks to Zhou Zhihan's No. 214 Wildcat. What made him even more angry and afraid was that the two imperial super aces he relied on, Toru Iwamoto, Sanhe Nishizawa Guangyi were all shot down and killed by Zhou Zhihan.
Looking at Wildcat No. 214 who escaped like an eagle after hitting Zero, Mizuo Fuchida's eyes burst with anger. This great revenge must be avenged!
An oath is an oath, and a curse is a curse. Mizuo Fuchida thinks that his combat power is at the same level as Nishizawa Hiroyuki and Iwamoto Tetsuo. The two of them combined can't do it, let alone him.
If you want to defeat Wildcat No. 214, you must find Zhou Zhihan's weakness.
But so far, he has never been able to find the weakness in Zhou Zhihan's air battle, and he still doesn't know how Wildcat No. 214 managed to shoot down 8 Zeros silently.
This is the scary thing about Zhou Zhihan.
If it weren't for the fact that they had to turn near the Tantras Mountains, it is estimated that all 12 Zeros would have been cannibalized by No. 214 Wildcat silently.
Seeing Wildcat No. 214 jumping into the clouds and disappearing, the remaining four Zero fighters followed closely and entered.
The No. 214 Wildcat piloted by the Chinese can enter the clouds, and so can the Zero War of the Japanese Empire.
But the next second, the pilots of the four Zero fighter jets were no longer confident, because they could hardly see anything clearly in the clouds mixed with thick smoke. What was even worse was that the fog in the clouds varied from thick to light, one by one. Flying in front of their eyes, they always thought that there were fighter planes flying in front of them, but they did not dare to fire for fear of accidentally injuring their own people.
So the Japanese pilot continued to pull up and jumped out of the clouds.
If Wildcat No. 214 is above the clouds, they will immediately surround him. If not, they will look for it from a high position and wait for the opportunity.
The lead aircraft, the second-in-command aircraft and the wingman continued to rise upwards and jumped out of the clouds. In an instant, the sun was golden, the sky was blue, and everything within a radius of 20 to 30 kilometers was clearly visible.
There was no trace of Wildcat No. 214 on the clouds, nor was their secondary wingman found, but Mizuo Fuchida saw it. He saw a few faint bullet traces flickering in the clouds above the oil depot, like lightning intersecting deeply wrapped in thick clouds. Then a Zero rolled down from the clouds like a turkey with broken wings, and exploded a few seconds later.
Mizuo Fuchida's back was soaked with cold sweat, his face was pale, and he murmured to himself: "Is this person a human or a ghost?"
The three Zero wingmen did not follow up. On their way up, they heard the sound of fire coming from the clouds and saw faint bullet traces. After more than ten seconds, the wingmen still did not jump out. The three Zero wingmen still did not jump out. The Japanese pilots were a little panicked. They still don't understand why in just a few minutes, only the three of them were left in a squadron?
This is horrible.
At this time, the three Zero Fighter pilots looked at the ink clouds darkened by thick smoke under the fuselage, as if looking at an endless abyss, and couldn't help but be filled with doubts, fearing that Wildcat No. 214 would appear behind them at any time.
They were never able to detect the enemy, which was a taboo in air combat.
Just when the three Japanese pilots were panicking because they couldn't see Wildcat No. 214, Zhou Zhihan flew in the clouds and had a clear view of the three Zeros above.
Three Zeros reported to the group to keep warm, formed a three-plane formation, and flew towards the opposite side of the Tantras Mountains. It was obvious that they did not seek success, but wanted to save their lives. They were obviously looking for Wild Cat No. 214. In fact, I want to fly away from this area immediately.
"Want to leave?"
Zhou Zhi smiled coldly. At this moment, he suddenly saw five P40s flying from the direction of Haleiwa Airport.
Zhou Zhihan was overjoyed, this was a new force.
Since most of the command headquarters at several airports were destroyed by Japanese planes and communication information disappeared, the 24 Flying Tigers that took off with Zhou Zhihan lost contact. They had no actual combat experience. After losing Zhou Zhihan's command, they were quickly The veteran Zero Fighter had only 6 aircraft left, and they only dared to harass the Japanese aircraft on the periphery. Seeing 5 P40s appearing, the members of the Flying Tigers immediately went to join them.
Mitsuo Fuchida used the flag language and sent five Zeros to intercept.
These are the seven pilots of the 57th Destroyer Squadron stationed at Pearl Harbor. After hearing the warning before the base was attacked, they reacted quickly and immediately drove two cars from Wheeler Base where they were staying. Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor Under the leadership of the police, they ran madly towards Haleiwa Airport.
During this period, they encountered crazy fire from Zero fighter jets and braved a hail of bullets as they quickly arrived at Haleiwa Airport, their training base.
Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor saw Japanese bombers circling and dropping bombs above the airport from a distance. The officers and soldiers at the airport defended desperately, resulting in heavy casualties.
The pilots of the 57th Fighter Squadron jumped out of the car and, with the help of base personnel, quickly ran towards the hidden canopy that had not been bombed by the Japanese for the time being. Five P40s and one P36A were parked there and had been repaired.
Fortunately, although the airport headquarters here was bombed by the Japanese, the communication facilities were still usable after quick repairs by the ground crew.
In order to cover the takeoff of six fighter planes, the airport personnel risked their lives and concentrated their firepower to attack the enemy bombers desperately, attracting Japanese escort fighters to suppress them.
Taking advantage of the Zero to suppress the firepower network formed by the airport personnel, Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor led 6 fighter planes to take off at full speed. During this period, the P36A was shot down by the Zero. The remaining five P40s successfully took off and worked with the ground crew to kill them. 2 escort Zeros.
During this time, the entire airfield had been nearly destroyed by enemy bombers, who then headed to the east side of Oahu to attack American warships.
After five P40s killed two Zeros, they headed towards Oahu for reinforcements. From a distance, they saw Japanese Zero fighter jets exploding in the air from the south side of Oahu above the oil depot of the base.
"Oh God! Zeros are constantly being shot down above the base's oil depot. I don't know which squadron is guarding there." Second Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor was originally going to lead everyone to defend the oil depot. They just rushed all the way to the airport and didn't have time. Watch the Flying Tigers guarding [Battleship Avenue] and start an offensive and defensive battle with the Japanese army.
Suddenly, Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor saw a Wildcat flying out of the clouds like lightning and appearing on the left rear of a Zero.
